The old media not catching up to the internet (manhunt)

I didn’t even have the TV on during the Boston events. Too upsetting having to passively endure lies and idiocies. On Twitter, news were coming in real time. And I could comment. I could tell NY Post who fingered innocent people twice “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you just give up now?”

In the evening I did turn on the TV . All channels had the same image of a house with a boat surrounded by police. Except for Channel 13 (public TV in NY) which ironically had commercials every time I checked.

I am glad I had the TV on, because I didn’t miss the iconic moment when old news media died. The reporter was standing by the house & boat when cheers erupted. Twitter lit up: SUSPECT 2 IN CUSTODY! The reporter announced: “They are cheering but I don’t know why. he then reported rumors. They took another hour to confirm that it was the actual bombing suspect (not Fox, they jumped in ahead as usual)
